July draws to a close which only means one thing. We are so close to double days and the rest of our season. This is our coach’s first year as head coach at Pacific so no one is sure what to expect out of preseason. It’s going to be hard, it always is, but who…

College Prep Camp
Tonight is the last night of college prep camp and we are all exhausted. Not only are we “coaching” this camp, but we are also participating in a lot of the drills. Every day we never really know what to expect or what is expected of us except a lot of hard work. For the…

All Skills Camp #2
Another Monday and for me, another start to another All Skills Camp. That great feeling of being finished with a long and tiring camp is long gone and replaced with the long tortorous road of yet another one. Now we begin everything again, the same check in and the same drills and demos. It’s the…

Week Number Two

After a nice 20 minutes of…
THURSDAY numero uno
Today was a typical day of going to class and lifting and open gymming. Wake up was around 10:20 and for about three hours I ate breakfast, got ready for class and watched TV. Then went to class and right after sprinted over to athletics for what I like to call, Tony time. Tony Sandoval is the…

Wednesday. Hump day. The middle of the week. Two more days until the weekend, and from the eyes of a University of the Pacific volleyball player, the one day of the week where we don’t have to succumb to Tony and his vigorous workouts. Today started early for me, with my alarm ringing in a…
